| Horseshoe Curve-1966. Here is an original telephoto that I took at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in May of 1966. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #7250 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both are EFS-17M's built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,750 horsepower each. #7250 was built in October of 1959. They're rounding the Curve with a mixed-cargo freight train that's heading down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. (#14 of 39) |
